Boys' Club
In the organizer's words:
World premiere / TAP AHEAD
Boys' Club reflects on the experiences of female-read tap artists throughout history to the present day. The piece explores power dynamics that reveal the multiple facets of how female-read people are perceived in today's world. With their piece, the Canadian female-led tap dance company tells their individual stories and relates them to female artists who came before them. In doing so, strong similarities between current and historical examples become clear - experiences that artists in male-centered societies have had over time are similar.
Veronica Simpson, Elise McGrenera and Laura Donaldson were resident artists at the 2022 edition of TAP AHEAD and founded their company Boys' Club shortly afterwards. Their first joint piece of the same name premiered in Barcelona in 2023 and now the three are returning to Düsseldorf.
In Boys ' Club, all female does not only refer to dance and choreography: the soundtrack of the piece consists exclusively of tracks by female musicians and composers.
